Boston ODF Day

Search

I spent Thursday the 27th in Boston; I was invited by Harvard Law School’s
Berkman Center to participate
in a round-table discussion of interoperability
and standards in general, and the current Massachusetts/ODF brouhaha in
particular. It was interesting and instructive, and I recommend that anyone
who cares about this check out the
recording.
To help understand the context, there is this
guy in the room from
ACT who was pushing back pretty hard
against the
new Massachusetts policy. His arguments are lifted pretty well word for word
from the Microsoft talking points, which was useful as the event might otherwise
have been a love-in.
